A funny misunderstanding sparks a sweet little goat's joyful journey to self-discovery. A funny misunderstanding sparks a sweet little goat's joyful journey to self-discovery. "He's the G.O.A.T. Greatest Of All Time!" Wow . . . Goat had no idea! But why is he the greatest Is he the fastest Nope, Horse easily beats him in a race. Maybe he's the strongest No, that's Donkey. Goat isn't the highest jumper, either, or even the best spitter-and he's definitely not the bravest. Out of ideas of what makes him great, he's beginning to doubt that he's great at anything when a sudden call for help gives him his chance to shine. Kids will get a kick out of Goat's antics and cheer him on as he finally stops comparing himself to everyone else and discovers that there's greatness in us all.
